”
Similar in style and feel to those other artists, Egyptian Lover and related West Coast electro groups and producers such as World Class Wrecking Cru, Chris “The Glove” Taylor and the Unknown DJ took beatbox manipulation to new levels, fusing signature loops with ample syncopation, darker, modal melodies and impressive turntable tricks. While Egyptian Lover records didn’t start appearing until several years after the New York and Miami electro scenes were already in full swing, by the mid-’80s Egyptian Lover cuts like Egypt, Egypt” were standards among club DJs, particularly in the breakdance scene.
Early cuts such as “Computer Love” and “Dance” were among Egyptian Lover’s most experimental, with the material appearing through the latter half of the ’80s increasingly flirting with full-blown rap by adding more vocals and melodic hooks. While more of his material dates from the latter phase, it’s his earlier releases that remain his most accomplished, and they’re routinely namechecked by a new generation of producers such as Autechre and I-F inspired by electro’s first wave.”
